Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 515:

Mrs. Reed exchanged a few words with Stella and RK before departing.

Immediately afterward, RK began chatting with others. Stella, disliking such occasions, greeted RK and sought refuge in a quieter area.

She had never been fond of social interactions. The attendees at tonight’s dinner were all prominent entrepreneurs, engaged in lively conversation, yet behind their smiles lay darkness.

Observing these intentionally crafted smiles, Stella felt exhausted.

When Stella was very young, she attended a banquet with her parents. Back then, she was still a child. After her mother left and her stepmother arrived, she found little joy in gatherings, even with an older brother and sister. She never liked Sophia, especially from the moment she stepped into their home.

Humans are strange; as they grow, they often become lonelier. Do they choose their companions or do they choose solitude?

Gently lifting a glass of red wine, Stella gazed at RK in the distance through the liquid. His figure stood out so distinctly that she could spot him easily among the crowd. His tailored suit naturally drew attention from several women, and Stella noticed the fierce glances they cast his way.

Turning away, Stella made her way to the floor-to-ceiling window when an irritating voice interrupted her solitude.

“Stella, if it weren’t for Mrs. Reed wanting to see you, Rene wouldn’t have brought you to this banquet,” Sophia remarked, her voice dripping with jealousy. She had hoped to make Stella envious but instead felt overshadowed herself.

“Yes, I know. I heard it,” Stella replied, her calm demeanor in stark contrast to Sophia’s agitation.

“Stella, I was the one who met Rene first, so he is mine,” Sophia declared, recalling her own foolishness in pushing Stella towards RK.

“I know. But weren’t you the one who pushed me to RK?” Stella smiled at Sophia, her words laced with subtle defiance.

“You…” Sophia seethed, the anger boiling inside her as she remembered her earlier mistakes.
